The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 The closing night, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
